The student, who has identified herself as Ally, appeared on 9News with her mother Kirsten Wakefield. "This is a grown man pushing my 13-year-old girl so hard against her will while she is crying and screaming for him to stop that he is ripping tissues in her body," Wakefield says. She also told CBS Denver that Ally suffered a burst blood vessel from the incident and is currently in physical therapy.

"We absolutely prohibit any practices that place our students’ physical and mental health in jeopardy," said Denver Public Schools Superintendent Tom Boasberg. "We do not and will not allow any situation in which a student is forced to perform an activity or exercise beyond the point at which they express their desire to stop."

In a statement to The Denver Post, cheer coach Ozell Williams claims the videos are taken out of context. "You can definitely say that what was in the video could be seen in a different light," he told the outlet. "I would love to tell my story, but I can’t say anything else at this time."

The school's principal, assistant principal, and DPS deputy general counsel have been placed on leave along with Williams and assistant cheer coach Mariah Cladis.
